Dude, I was literally just about to get started on a double doorframe removal and thought I'd check here for a video. I was planning to pry the thing out with a pry bar all the way around. I still had to do plenty of prying with outside and inside trim, but man you saved me so much grief!
Your time edits are perfect...all of what we need, none of what we don't (e.g. cutting the caulking). It's very helpful for some learners (like myself!) to actually watch you do each step for even 20 seconds to get a feel for it, then it's onto the next step. Keep 'em comin', Shannon!
Thank you Shannon for your very informative and clear videos. I'm a DIY-er who has done quite a bit of work to my own house and because I finished everything I'm moving onto helping others. I learn something new with every project and they almost always come with a challenge along the way but I get through it and discovering your channel or videos has been a great help. I'm about to install a pre-hung exterior door on a small garage and in a couple of weeks install the full garage door. I of course saw you video on that and it will prove to be helpful. Sorry for the long message, but Thank you, I really appreciate you and your skill.
Very nicely done. It's been two decades since I've done any type of home improvement chores. Just bought a house and I need to do exactly what you've just shown. I'm reusing everything that I can. Thank you for this video.
Good Job. I've never done an exterior door. I was sure it wouldn't be hard but there's always something new you can learn. I'm glad I watched because I would have forgotten about my house alarm wiring on the top. The other thing I did was remove the excess sheet rock that hangs out. I just used my sheet rock hole saw and pushed in only, as I cut. I did this just in case I snagged it with the saw or the new door frame when I was installing it. If I snagged it, it could crack further into the wall, turning one job into three. The Door, Sheet rock repair and a paint job. Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Very helpful Shannon, we're looking at putting in a new door and frame set and of course need to get the old one out and am having trouble getting anybody to schedule a time and date to come out, so it's looking more and more like a DIY project for us.
I am removing a door at the back of my garage and this really helped!, I really appreciated the suggestion about removing the frame when not saving it!
First rate video. I appreciated the attention to detail both in the work being done, as well as suggesting approaches not applicable to the video itself but that a DIY'er might encounter. It's nice to see someone who takes the time to describe all of the caveats. Thanks Shannon.
Do you have video of how to expand an exterior door way. I'm trying to expand an adobe doorway. If you have any information on how to proceed. I would greatly appriciated. All your videos have been a great assest to me and my homebuilding project. Thanks you for that. Adios.
Great video, always easy to follow and always what I need. Would you happen to have a link to the video where you cover the door entry up? I want to eliminate the opening. Thank you.
Please subscribe to the channel and you will be notified when new videos come available. The one you are looking for comes on line to view later this week.
Hello from El Paso, TX. I am going to try to replace my front door and install a storm door. Can you give me a list of tools and equipment needed to accomplish this DIY task.
I need to remove an exterior door. The door opens inward. The door is locked. The door is blocked on the inside by a dolly loaded with wood. Any suggestions? The electric garage door opener got hit by lightning surge and now we can not open the RV garage "DOOR"/this side door is the only way in but it has problems listed.
hello Shannon, I watch most of your video because I want to have knowledge to solve my Patio having Transom 62.5 X 92.5 eventhu I can not do the work. ::)) I have a Patio Door (HDepot in USA call as Exterior Door as it connect to the Deck on the Second Floor). The door has one "fix" and one "open" (left open). There is a leak and the Maple Woodfloor (interior) was damaged. The door is in perfect condition and it is costly to replace the new one. I would like to have the Aluminium Threshold/Sill replaced but having Composite instead of Treated Wood. The Middle piece of the "Fix" and "Open" Door (I guess is called Mullion) sit on the Threshold. In order to replace the Threshold and part of the damaged Maple Woodfloor and reinvestigate the Joist of the Deck, the Patio door need to be removed and re-installed. I pay someone to deal w/ the issues for labor and I would pay for Materials. I already buy Vycor 0.025 in. x 9 in. x 75 ft. Deck Protector and try to buy the Threshold w/ composite. I would like to change the ORIGINAL wood frame w/ something that will NOT rot in the long run... it is possible?. Please provide suggestion and recommendation. Thx
thank you have watched quite a few of ur videos and they helping alot however my wife wants me to convert are exterior door to a bay window what do i need to do differently or is it basicaly same steps also watcher your framing one too just need a littkle help
Very illustrative video! Sorry if this question sounds silly but I'm just wondering if could be any issue when removing the old door lining.. structural wise, collapse..? Thanks, Juan
The doorbell problem may have been a worn-out push-button or transformer burned out. Now we'll never know since the wire was cut with the recip saw and probably too short to easily salvage
Would this process be used to replace one side of a door frame on a light side door? The lock holes in my door are drilled wrong and need to be re-drilled, I am thinking the door frame needs to be replaced and then re-drill the holes for the lock. Thoughts?
Does your blade have a double edge so you can cut either way? Didn't know that they have those. Always great videos Shannon. I need to replace the side door to my barn on new house I recently bought. The bottom has rotted out. Any suggestions or ides? Thanks again. Todd.
How cold was it outside when you did this? The air lock (orange tarp) is a nice way to work comfortably, and I imagine a good way to conceal the location of the house you're working on.
When you install a new exterior door should the jam be flush with the rough opening (wall stud) i.e. is the jam supposed to extend over the drywall and stucco or is it supposed to be flush with the stud on both sides? I am trying to figure out how to order a door for new construction and need the jam size
The two jamb sizes without custom ordering or adding on to them is 4-1/2" and 6-1/2". The jamb extends from flush to outside face of wall plywood to inside face of drywall. So a home with 2x4 walls ,1/2" exterior plywood and 1/2" drywall would be 4-1/2". You have some room to play with that, sometimes homes have 3/8 plywood and or 3/8 drywall so the standard sizes will work there also.
@@HouseImprovements Does it make sense that I need to order a 5 3/4 jam since I have 1/2 drywall and measured the stud to be 5 1/4? the plaster guy told me to do the jam flush with the stud. Everyone at the two hardware stores look at me like I am crazy, telling me I need to account for stucco and the measurements should be 1/2"(drywall) + 5 1/2"(they say all 2 x 6's are 5 1/2) + 7/8"(drywall) = 6 7/8
You could change out one side ,say because of a break-in or something that damaged the striker side. to do that though you will still need to remove the whole frame.
HouseImprovements That's great, I'm 18 and learning as well. I say for a young man I know a lot. Hopefully in 10 years I know as much as you haha. Another question, are all your tools pretty quiet or do you edit the video? I was using a miter saw yesterday, and it was loud. I HATE NOISE!
+David Santos all tools make about the same amount of noise, relative to tool and competition. the more you spend often equals less noise.... always use ear and eye protection
David Santos right on man stick with it , it will make you money, pay attention to the little tricks the senior guys do, learn lots and makes things easy
I think you are a liar. how can you puill out the pins so easily ? I'm trying to pull out the below pin from so small space for a day, but not done yet. you are like a actor. hahaha
My favorite part was when you took the extra time to rehang the curtain.
Thank you so much for this!!!

Dear Shannon: All your videos are so terrific! Between the narration, the content, the editing and your occasional humour, I really enjoy them all!
Thank you.
Great and eloquent explanation, good camera work, and wonderful teaching.
Very useful for the all home DIYers like myself. Thank you for making this video.
Been watching all of you videos, they are to the point and thorough. Thanks for making them.

Love about the part you talked about removing brick molding from stucco. I watched many similar videos looking for such advice. Thank you!
I am removing a door at the back of my garage and this really helped!, I really appreciated the suggestion about removing the frame when not saving it!
Love your videos. My daughter and I are doing our first Reno entirely by RUclips videos. Thank you!!!

Nice set of videos,looking forward to seeing the finished house,thanks for taking the time to make them
Thank you for the clear and helpful directions - doing this today!
Great instructional video. Seems just backing the screws from hinges would work in the event you want to install another frame/door set.
Another awesome video from HouseImprovements, thank you again Shannon.

Did you say reciprocating saw?💕
I can do this. Thanks!
I will suggest removing the exterior trim first before you cut the nails for the door jamb to give you prying support

Order the bay unit to fit and you should be ok.
Very illustrative video! Sorry if this question sounds silly but I'm just wondering if could be any issue when removing the old door lining.. structural wise, collapse..?
Thanks,

The door should not be what is holding up your home if it was framed properly .
I have a question please ..... 36 From frame to frame 36 in .....Because the measurement of the door 35.75 inches....What do you think
The doorbell problem may have been a worn-out push-button or transformer burned out. Now we'll never know since the wire was cut with the recip saw and probably too short to easily salvage
Would this process be used to replace one side of a door frame on a light side door? The lock holes in my door are drilled wrong and need to be re-drilled, I am thinking the door frame needs to be replaced and then re-drill the holes for the lock. Thoughts?
Yes you could .
Does your blade have a double edge so you can cut either way? Didn't know that they have those. Always great videos Shannon. I need to replace the side door to my barn on new house I recently bought. The bottom has rotted out. Any suggestions or ides? Thanks again. Todd.
+Nrfa My recip saw blade is not double sided but you can put it into the saw either direction.
Very comprehensive except for lead information 11:09 (possible toxic inhalation); looks like older siding.
How cold was it outside when you did this? The air lock (orange tarp) is a nice way to work comfortably, and I imagine a good way to conceal the location of the house you're working on.
It was not to bad about -15C ,but of course the wind was cold, so the tarps held in a bit of warmth and kept the neighbours out of the video. LOL
That's still pretty cold.
Yeah, if those neighbors want to be on youtube, let them get their own channel!

Great vid Shannon. You mentioned watching out for a doorbell wire, what voltage are those usually?
They should only be 12V so no real danger but you don't want to cut it if your keeping it. LOL
Once I get my red-seal from 27 union I'd love to work a job with you, my fellow Canadian
Good luck with your red- seal !
How about a 3 section door removal?
Can u change only one side of the frame or you have to change the whole thing?
You could change out one side ,say because of a break-in or something that damaged the striker side. to do that though you will still need to remove the whole frame.
The hole frame
how do i remove this door model 0:36
40 years of dust lmao😂
Is that a hive tool he’s using to remove the pins?
Yes.
Is that an estwing hammer I see??
hi shannon this ivan you do hardwood floor
+Ivan Behnam Yes, here is my flooring playlist. ruclips.net/p/PLh0KqGKtX4oVUwKr0copJax0ej9mUAq3K
Canadian aye
Shannon what's going on brotha. How many years did it take to learn everything you know?
its been a life long journey! And still learning.

I think you are a liar. how can you puill out the pins so easily ? I'm trying to pull out the below pin from so small space for a day, but not done yet. you are like a actor. hahaha
Some are pretty sticky, if its that bad just remove all the screws and take the hinge right off.
Great video
